If he hasn’t made nine figures, he’s not the A side. I’m the A side, so if you guys want the fight to happen, you must come my way. My way, my rules.”

We did that last time (sent Conor McGregor to boxing), you have to come here this time. We already did it. Now you come here. Why does he want to box? Every time he wants to box. You want to fight? You want to make $150 million? Come over here and get your — whooped!.”
